Three Word Story Challenge – Part 6

Wacky – Interesting – Spiritual

First a contribution from my oldest child. Pen name, Balonga:

“There was a wacky person that was very spiritual, and he had extremely interesting ideas.”

Here is mine:

The slabs of wood that made the crate had silvered. A proud display to their age and strength. It was flipped upside down a painfully, ordinary looking man stood upon it. He held a leather book. The cover fell like drooping wings over his hand and bent towards the earth.

A commotion of people had circled around him.  I was curious if what he had to say was interesting.

People began to mock and they pointed a finger to the side of their head before making circles. “This guy is wacky!” They said as they walked away.

Only a few of us remained, and we stepped in closer.

What he spoke was spiritual. It was life and truth. The book he held was the Living Word of God. The Bible.

His deep voice spoke eternal truth. Words that had been penned before the earth was formed. (Revelation 13:8)

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved!” (John 3:16-17 KJV)

The message he spoke was one of love.

It has always been for love…

~To begin a life with Jesus, all you need to do is admit that you are a sinner. Believe that Jesus was the sinless Son of God, and that He died in your place on the cross, and that He rose again three days later. Last confess to someone that you put your trust in Jesus as your Saviour. Then watch His gentle transforming work begin in your life.

In grace and peace,

Sharon Rose

    I love his to the point, nice description with the words. Good job! Excellent pen name!

    I love the description of how “the cover fell like drooping wings” …so visual!

    Just from a grammatical point of view, I see lots of improvements that we have talked about over the months. Not that is a necessity in pieces like this, but that’s just coming from an English teacher’s point of view 😆

    The Bible verses work really well in this piece especially since you’re talking about “the preacher.”
